Mushkin DDR3-RAM 8GB PC3-17000 Redline Kit

Zitat: Pro: + Frostbyte heat shields + Tight timings + Overclocking + XMP + Price Try as I might there is nothing I have to say bad about this set of Redline modules from Mushkin. The modules perform just as well as I expected them to do based on using these as part of the OCC test bed back during the heyday of the P67/Z68 chipsets, where the modules performed well when paired with an Intel Core i7 2600K or even with the Third Generation Core i7 3770K. Overclocking was just as I remembered and fairly robust with a 200MHz boost in speed achieved with just a bit of tuning time. The boost in speed did not come with the serious drop in performance that I have seen with some of the modules I have tested as the speeds increase and the timings get looser. Even though targeted at the enthusiast and hard core gamer, the Redline 996996 modules do not have to be tweaked and tuned to get the most from them as the XMP profile is pretty aggressive to start with. Something that allows the modules to perform well right out of the gate on top of making it easy for the average user to set up the modules just by enabling the XMP profile in the BIOS. Mushkin´s Frostbyte cooling technology offers enhanced cooling of the modules with a lightweight design that is not only good looking but functional. The red color goes well with any build, especially one that employs any of the red and black themed boards such as the ASUS ROG Maximus VI Hero and MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming . By hand testing the modules before they leave the factory, Mushkin ensures nothing but quality parts are sent out to the consumer. Sometimes things go wrong even though we do everything right, in those instances Mushkin is there to stand by its product, offering a lifetime warranty on the modules. As it stands here the 996996 Redline modules are another solid offering that comes with a low buy in cost for the quality you get at $79 for 8GB of memory! Good looks, great performance, and the support to back it up. Remember that slogan on the back of the package? It proudly states "Get More". I would have to agree.

Zitat: MSreco_mainstream The new Redline C9 2x4GB memory kit from Mushkin sports a medium-height heatsink design in order not to create heatsink compatibility issues and the model which we have tested was rated to run at 2133MHz, while the rated XMP voltage was set at 1.65V. To try the voltage specifications recommended by Intel, we have tried to boot with it set at 1.5V only to see that the computer become irresponsive; however, the sticks were fully stable at 1.6V. Afterwards, we have tried to see how much this kit can go up in frequency and found that 2200MHz was totally doable while maintaining the stock voltage. In order to run at 1.5V, we needed to downgrade the frequency to 1866MHz, while we have kept the stock memory timings. Mushkin declares that each kit is pre-tested before leaving the factory and we clearly believe them since we did not have any issues with the kit while using the preloaded XMP profile. The 996996 kit can be now picked up online for about 67 Euros.

Zitat: Pro: sehr schnell (2.133 MHz) + Wärmeentwicklung hält sich in Grenzen + hochwertige Verarbeitungsqualität + Riegel lassen sich problemlos auf 2.2 GHz übertakten + fairer Preis Contra: billige Blisterverpackung Das preislich fair kalkulierte Mushkin Enhanced Redline Frostbyte 996996 Speicherkit punktet nicht nur bei der Optik, sondern bietet auch eine top Leistung und einwandfreie Verarbeitungsqualität. Auch die geringe Wärmeentwicklung und das vorhandene Overclocking-Potenzial sprechen für die Speichermodule. Christoph meint: Performance-Empfehlung der Redaktion!
